First Sentence Meme

First sentences of the first post of each month (most of them oddly enough really were posted on the first day of each month, or at most the third..):

Jan 1 (12:44 am): Brrr...it's cold in Times Square, NY - in the 20s F, with wind chill, the teens (or below 0 degrees C.)

Feb: (it's a poem, so first line of the poem): chatter chatter chatter box box box

Mar: Busy weekend. On the way home from church, it was snowing...light and fluffy, then sleet, and now, hours later, I fear it is raining...which means a mess tomorrow for my commute.

Apr: Still plodding my way through Outlander - 80% of the way through now. Not sure I recommend it. It's awfully passive - too much of the action happens off-stage.

May: I read about this in Entertainment Weekly a few weeks back. About 30 years ago, Tippi Hedren (of Hitchcock's The Birds) and her husband, decided to make a thriller about a family raising a bunch of wild animals in Africa. To save money, they decided to bring the wild animals home with them and raise them as house-pets.

Jun: Go read this blog entry by Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer about their failed attempt to get an Art Spieglman cover and comic in their issue of the New Statesman.

Jul: So, I decided to join MD's book club. Haven't been in a book club in about six years, so we'll see how this goes. They did my book last month.

[ETA: The actual book I wrote, not one I suggested.]

Aug: Just finished watching a lovely little film by Lasse Hallstrom, entitled The Hundred Yard Journey - which is basically about an Indian boy's journey to becoming a chef in a small town in France.

Sep: Almost through streaming the netflix 13 part television series Bloodline, which is really good.

Oct: I love rainy fall Saturdays, when you can sleep in and binge watch television shows all day long.

Nov: WOO-HOO!! The Kansas City Royals won the World Series. (shhhh...don't tell my New Yorker fans that I was secretly rooting for them along with the Mets).

Dec: My workplace is trying to drive me crazy.
